A new Harris Interactive poll confirms that Americans would rather skip sex than give up their smart phones, televisions or Internet connections. The Harris study found that people who work in the tech field have a special name for their fondness for gadgets, dubbing it “Tech affection.” The New Republic called the futuristic movie Her, where a lonely guy falls in love with his phone’s operating system–the scariest film of 2013. The poll confirms that a growing number of tech decision makers are willing to sacrifice real human relationships for their digital devices.
